More receiver than offensive lineman, Pylar had offers from Georgia State and FIU, along with several FCS offers.

“I just feel it is the best place for me,” Pylar told the Sentinel. “I love what the coaches are doing there and I really think they are turning the program in the right direction.”

“They said they love using their tight ends in the red zone and I like how they said they will use me in their offense,” Pylar continued. “Everything about FAU just seems perfect.

“I didn’t get to meet a lot of the coaches but I’ll be going back down to do that. When I went down to check it out I fell in love. Then I went home and talked to my parents and coach and that’s when I made my decision.”

According to Hayes, Pylar has improved significantly in his time at University — mainly in his blocking. He was named the MVP of the National Underclassmen Combine Five-Star Showcase in Kissimmee in March.

Last year, Pylar caught 22 passes for 407 yards and four touchdowns for a team that rarely threw the ball.

He's FAU's seventh commitment in the 2014 recruitment class. Jared Allen was his main recruiter.
